The Phantom Butterfly of the Republic of China
Chapter 197
Xiao Yicai was not worried about this, and he decided to leave his second brother in the imperial capital. However, Xiao Yan did not know that there was a complicated entanglement between his eldest brother and his second brother. He only knew that his second brother was unwilling to follow everyone to Shanghai.
Now, Xiao Yi has led his family out of the imperial capital, completely away from all factors that might be unfavorable to them. Xiao Yi's move puzzled his opponents, and even those who were related to him could not understand it. Leaving the imperial capital is like being exiled to the frontier in ancient times. There is no essential difference between the two.
Because of this, those who originally planned to match the second and fourth young masters of the Xiao family stopped their steps. After all, it is difficult to be optimistic about the future development prospects of a person who chooses to stay away from the imperial capital.
Xiao Yi originally disagreed, but this idea was suggested to him by his father and his nephew Jin Yu. Xiao Yi's father thought that since Xiao Yi had already arrived in Shanghai, he should gather the whole family together. As for Jin Yu, when Xiao Yi asked him what the consequences would be if he stayed in the imperial city, he gave a very bad answer.
As for Jin Yu, Xiao Yi had experienced what he said was good or bad. When Jin Yu said it was good, things would often go very smoothly, even beyond his imagination; however, if he said it was not good, no matter how much effort he made or how many methods he tried, the final result would be unbearable, because it might lead to the destruction of the Xiao family. Today, the Xiao family has stood in a very high position. Once there is something wrong, the enemy will drag the whole family into the quagmire.
Xiao Yi didn't dare to take this risk. He couldn't gamble with the lives of his entire family. He had a glimmer of hope, but when he learned that Jin Yu had become the Taoist's registered disciple, he completely lost confidence. Xiao Yi had experienced Jin Yu's abilities before. He had been beaten a lot at that time. At that time, he only suffered some physical pain, but now it was a matter of life and death for his entire family. Xiao Yi couldn't afford to gamble.
Xiao Yi was still somewhat enthusiastic and impulsive, but at this moment his heart was like being doused with cold water and instantly cooled down. He knew very well the gap between himself and Jin Yu, and understood that this bet had almost no chance of him winning.
He was unwilling to take the risk because he was afraid that if he tried, the final outcome might put him in a desperate situation or even lose his life. This aggrieved feeling made him feel helpless and powerless.
But when he thought about the future of his family in Shanghai, he felt much better. Xiao Yan looked at his elder brother in a daze and asked in confusion: "Brother, why are you in a daze? Hurry up and pack up, we will arrive at the station soon." Xiao Yi came back to his senses, glanced at Xiao Yan, and thought: "This third brother is really carefree!" Then he shook his head helplessly and got up to pack his luggage.
Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Yan and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This guy is really a lazy guy. Even if someone helps him to turn over, he is too lazy to move." In comparison, although the second brother has some rebellious psychology, he at least has some motivation and ambition. And Xiao Yan only knows how to have fun all day long and has no plans for the future. If this goes on, how can their family gain a foothold in Shanghai? While thinking, Xiao Yi speeded up the speed of packing. He hopes to arrive at the station as soon as possible, start a new life, and let his family live a better life.
But if he saved his third brother in the imperial capital, it would be impossible. This kid would bring shame to the Xiao family. Fortunately, his father and mother were in Shanghai, and they could still take care of his younger brother. At least this guy would not ruin his family, which was a way of showing his loyalty to the Xiao family.
Xiao Yan had no idea that in his elder brother's eyes, he was just a piece of mud that could not be helped. At this moment, his elder brother had already decided that when they arrived in Shanghai, he would definitely let Xiao Yan's parents discipline him.
Seeing this, Xiao Yi finally put aside his worries and started to pack his luggage. Xiao Yi's third sister-in-law, Xiao Yan's wife, looked at her eldest uncle and her husband with a bewildered look on her face. She always felt that her eldest uncle seemed to be somewhat dissatisfied with her husband just now.
The youngest son standing next to Xiao Yan, who was also Jin Ling's fifth cousin, looked at his parents and shook his head helplessly. He understood a little in his heart why his brother always liked to discuss things with his uncle instead of his parents.
Xiao Yan's eldest son Xiao Jingyan looked at his younger brother and said, "What are you doing? Why don't you pack up quickly? We'll be there soon. Don't be in a hurry again." Xiao Jingyan's words made Xiao Jinghong a little unconvinced and said, "Brother, to be honest, it's not me who is in a hurry, it's my parents. What does it have to do with me?"
After hearing this, Jamel Xiao looked at him helplessly, wondering why this kid was so ignorant.
Xiao Yan, who was hearing this, was so angry that he thought to himself that this kid was becoming more and more outrageous. He slapped Xiao Jinghong in the face and said, "How dare you talk about your father, you little bastard!" When Xiao Jinghong saw that it was a slap from his old father, he didn't dare to say anything and quickly lowered his head to pack up his things.
Xiao Jingrui came over after hearing the noise, looked at Xiao Jinghong, and couldn't help laughing. He knew that his third uncle and third aunt were always like this, and every time they went out, they would make a mess, making people laugh and cry.
Xiao Yan looked at the two of them, sighed and said, "When will you two grow up?" After that, he turned around to help his wife pack her luggage.
Jamel Xiao and Jamel Xiao looked at each other, then shook their heads at the same time, indicating that they could not answer this question. They knew in their hearts that although they had grown up, they would always be children in front of their parents.
Xiao Jingchen walked over from the other end of the carriage, and as soon as he approached, he heard his third uncle shout out such a strange sentence. He looked at his two cousins and younger brother in confusion, only to see his two cousins standing aside with dark faces, while his younger brother Xiao Jingrui was laughing quietly beside him.
Xiao Jingchen couldn't bear it any longer, so he reached out and lifted Xiao Jingrui's collar, saying, "Stop messing around, hurry up and get ready! I just asked the conductor, and we'll arrive at the station in one minute. And I heard there are a lot of thieves in this station, so you all better be careful."
Xiao Jingrui and his companions were still somewhat afraid of this elder brother. After hearing his warning, Xiao Jingrui immediately stopped laughing at Xiao Jingyan and the others and began to pack his luggage seriously.
